Getting the Highest Price in the Shortest Time
In order to get the highest price in the shortest time, you need to know how to market your home. Exit Twin Advantage Realty are the experts at the real estate marketing process. The better you market your home, the more offers you will get. And the more offers you get, the more choices you have to get the price and terms you want.

The most important factor of marketing your home is pricing it right. Your price should be adjusted to reflect the market, and the property's worth. The key is to get many people checking out your property at a fair price instead of having no buyers because your price is set to high.

Another important factor is the condition of your home. Make sure that your home looks ready to be sold. Fix any defects (peeling or faded paint, cracks, stains, etc.) Condition alone can sometimes prompt fast buying decisions. Not only should you fix any defects, but consider upgrading your home by making major repairs and cosmetic improvements before selling. A nice looking home triggers the emotional response that can lead to a favorable sale.

Exit Twin Advantage Realty will negotiate the best terms for all parties involved. Terms are another factor which may be adjusted to attract buyers. If you insist on getting your asking price, think of what you can offer to the buyers, for example, improvements you've made, or even offering seller financing at a lower than market interest rate on a portion of the sale price.

Lastly, get the buzz out about your home. List your house with Exit Twin Advantage Realty to ensure your house is listed on the MLS, Internet and in real estate magazines. On your own, get the word out. Tell your friends and family and encourage them to tell their friends and family.

Make a Good First Impression
If you want buyers to be interested in your home, you need to show it in its best light. A good first impression can influence a buyer into making an offer; it influences a buyer emotionally and visually. In addition, what the buyer first sees is what they think of when they consider the asking price.

Ask around for the opinions others have of your home. Agents from Exit Twin Advantage Realty see houses everyday and can give solid advice on what needs to be done. What you need are objective opinions, and it's sometimes hard to separate the personal and emotional ties you have for the home from the property itself.

Typically, there are some general fix ups that need to be done both outside and on the inside. As a seller, you should consider the following:

• Landscaping - Has the front yard been maintained? Are areas of the house visible to the street in good condition? Make sure your backyard is in good condition as well.
  
• Cleaning - is your home and garage cluttered with papers, toys, tools, trash etc.?
  
• Painting - Does both the exterior and the interior look like they have been well taken care of?
  
• Carpeting - Does the carpet have stains? Or does the carpet look old and dirty?

Know Why You are Selling
If you know exactly why you are selling, then it is easier for you to set the right plan of action to get what it is that you want.

If you are a seller who needs to close a sale as quickly as possible, then you should know that getting the highest price possible is not one of your priorities. It does not mean that you won't or cannot get the highest price, but it means that the price is not the deciding factor. A buyer who can give you a quick closing time will appeal much more to you than a buyer who can offer you more money but the negotiation and closing time drag on.

It's always good to know how low you will go, in terms of selling price. This will help to eliminate some of the offers that you find simply offensive or ridiculous. Even though you should consider all offers seriously and take into consideration the terms of each offer, sometimes, if you know the bottom line and are strict about it, you can save yourself time.

Once you know what your limits and reasons are, discuss them with your agent so that they can help you set your goals realistically. Exit Twin Advantage Realty can research the current market, and you get the proper advice you need in terms of legal issues, etc. The key is to be realistic and to know what your goals are so that they can be met.

Setting the Price
The price is the first thing buyers notice about your property. If you set your price too high, then the chance of alienating buyers is higher. You want your house to be taken seriously, and the asking price reflects how serious you are about selling your home.

Several factors will contribute to your final decision. First, you should compare your house to others that are in the market. Exit Twin Advantage Realty will provide you with a CMA. The CMA will reflect the following:

• Houses in your price range and area sold within the last half-year Asking and selling prices of houses
  
• Current inventory of houses on the market Features of each house on the market
• From the CMA, you will find out the difference between the asking price and selling price for all homes sold, the condition of the market, and other houses comparable to yours.
• Also, try to find out what types of houses are selling and see if it applies to your area. Buyers follow trends, and these trends can help you set your price.
• Always be realistic. And understand and set your price to reflect the current market situation.
